Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Sully, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Sully is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
